    Don't they sell soft drinks in the Ponty End?

    Therefore no need for you to get thirsty!

    And alcohol only further dehydrates anyway so you'd be better off with a soft drink.

    agree but

    where would you put it? gets busy enough at half time people going to toilet and kids buying overpirced burgers. would be chaos with a bar added on!

    Plus...

    The minority of pillocks that sit in the Ponty, they don't need extra alcohol inside them to fuel their yobbish behaviour.

    ahem......

    I draw to your attention that it is one of the ground rules that you are not allowed to enter the stadium drunk..

    I may have one or 2 (at most), therefore the minority is in fact minority.

    So again, we are down to undertrained or incapable staff....


    but, at the end of the day, I have to admit, I have entered the ground rat-arsed (very few and very far between, in fact twice over 10 years, and never again), but of course that also turns me into a thug and a racist. In reallity, I couldn't see the game, forgot what happened completely, and sat their and was quiet. So I don't know what my point is... oh, staff! I shouldn't have been allowed to enter, but not everyone who is drunk, becomes a thug etc...

    I've seen them drunk

    But, I was on about the small minority who already give the club a bad name, normally with alcohol inside them. I could name names, but I'm not going to.

    I wasn't on about everyone who sits in the Ponty with a drink inside them, I had 2 pints before the match on Saturday, doesn't make me a thug!

    RE: ahem......

    I was at college at the time and we had night matches which coincided with my 'late night' there. As soon as I'd finished I'd run down to the ground and get there just before half time and go for a pint in the social club. At half time they used to open the door from the ground into the social club for the half time pints. Come the second half I'd mingle with the rest of the fans go back into the ground for nowt. Having said that I don't think the club lost too much revenue as I think the full admission price was 2s 6d[​IMG]</p>

    Can't imagine it happening now !!</p>

    RE: 2s 6d?

    being serious it was more than that but I think it was less than £1 for an adult.[​IMG]</p>

    You also got a free flat cap and lessons on how to 'sway in unison' so that they could make those there black and white films for't Pathe news reels. None er that new fangled gogle box in my day.[​IMG]</p>

    These days we just get taught how to shout, swear, and be racist(apparently)!

    Anyway, apologies for my no show on Saturday with ICU Tyke, my phone was lifted by some bloody dee dah at Sheffield train station so I couldn't get in touch with Mr ICU:(

    Bar in Ponty End...

    Use your loaf and stick a couple of bottles down your socks. If you borrow your wifes/girl friends tights you should manage at least 3 bottles per leg. I know it might make you walk a bit sluggish but it might be the start of a busines selling to other thirsty supporters. Necessity is the mother of invention.
